The history of Apple Annie's Bake Shop . . .
For more than six generations, the Longordo family has been baking everything from pasta to breads, cakes, and cookies. It all began during the 1800s in a small town in Italy where Gary Longordo's great, great grandfather began making pasta for the locals. The business continued until the early 1900s when Gary's grandparents, Nunzio and Annie Longordo, moved the family business to New Jersey. They changed the product from pasta to bread. The business flourished and their son Frank took over. Frank Longordo, Gary's father, took the business to a higher level. He hired bakers, sales clerks and assistants and created a full scale bake shop. During this time Gary, his wife Christine, and her younger brother, James got involved in the family business. Along with twenty employees, Frank baked, Aris, Frank's wife supervised, Gary decorated and Christine managed the finances. However things didn't end there.

Having ties to the South, the family decided to move the business to Wilmington, NC, in 1984. Frank served in the Marine Corps at Camp LeJeune and Aris grew up in Swansboro, NC. The Longordo's opened Apple Annie's Bake Shop in Wilmington, NC. Since then the bakery has been known as one of the finest in the country and has been named the National Retail Bakery of the Year.

Jill Longordo, Gary and Christine's oldest daughter has joined the family business, supervising the second location. Jess, their youngest daughter, is our wonderful onsite photographer, who supplies us with the pictures of our beautiful cakes. That makes six generations of fine baking!

Along with our fine assortment of baked goods, we also bake a variety of hand-made all natural breads. Baked to perfection! All of our tasty treats are made with all natural ingredients with no preservatives or additives. We BAKE FRESH DAILY!!!
